lyrics

Are these the last moments to enjoy?
The silent seeking of thoughts unknown
The lost hides and keeps away from time
I am now in love with but nothing

So why make plans that will always end
There’s more pleasure in not seeing a friend

The closest you will get to serenity
Is finding a dream that can never be believed
And as this young gaze this old land
They will find great cities, wars between men

Desire meets loss, never got off the ground
Ordinary affairs make the absence of sound

The Lost will break all of your hearts, for you
It can meet you anywhere, kill you just to show you

So why make plans that will always end
There’s more pleasure in not seeing a friend
